Heart of Glass ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge, for which the subject title was heart.

Right up until yesterday I thought I was going to need to dip into the archives as I'd been unable to find a suitable subject. Then during a visit to Ripley Castle we had a wander around the gift shop where I spotted a lovely heart shaped mirror hanging in the corner of the window display.

The light wasn't all that great and I was struggling to get a clean shot, but having ran it through the processing room for a few tweaks I think it works okay.

Also for Sight and Sound ... what else but Blondie and "Heart of Glass":

ein Geschenkeladen ist eine wahre Fundgrube für derartige Fotomotive (aber nicht unbedingt zum Kaufen, ist aber Geschmacksache ;-);
sehr schön präsentiert, Paul!

Yes, there were more hearts on display in various formats than I could have imagined Christel. Felt a bit uncomfortable though taking a photo in store, but I got away with it! ;)

Well that makes for a nice presentation for the challenge Paul ... it does ask to be explored as it creates questions. The tweaking worked well. :)

This one is a real beauty, Paul. It's magical and the song fits perfectly.
